Usually no — if you already pay for Spotify and are happy with it, Amazon Music is often not worth paying for separately. In practical terms, Spotify is usually the better all-around value at about $11.99/month for Premium, while Amazon Music Unlimited is typically about $10.99/month for Prime members or about $11.99/month without Prime.

Amazon Music becomes more compelling if you’re already paying for Amazon Prime, use Alexa/Echo speakers a lot, or want a service that integrates more tightly with Amazon devices. For most people, though, Amazon Music is best viewed as a good alternative, not a necessary second subscription.

Bottom line: keep Spotify unless Amazon Music is cheaper for your household, bundled into Prime in a way that lowers your effective cost, or you specifically want the Alexa/Amazon ecosystem benefits.

Prices and plan details change often, so it’s worth checking current subscription pricing and any promos before signing up.

Alternatives

Best for most people who already use Spotify and are happy with it.
Keep Spotify only
You avoid paying twice for similar catalogs while keeping Spotify’s stronger discovery, playlists, sharing, and app experience.
Worth considering if you use Alexa/Echo devices heavily or get a cheaper Amazon plan.
Switch to Amazon Music Unlimited
Amazon Music fits naturally with Alexa voice control and may be more attractive if bundled or discounted through Amazon.
If you already have Amazon Prime, use the included music access casually but do not treat it as a full Spotify replacement unless it meets your needs.
Use Prime Music only as a backup
It can be useful for occasional Alexa listening, but may feel limiting compared with a dedicated on-demand music subscription depending on plan and region.

What could change this answer

Music catalogs, plan features, audio quality, and prices can vary by country and change over time, so verify your current Spotify and Amazon plan details before switching.
Your exact constraints and priorities could change the best choice.
